igating the air. By careful aud scientinc
study of the various atmospheric currents
and the effect the various planets have upon
the different currents he has been able
TO construct a machine that Will
move through the air with great
velocity and with as much safety as a man
can walk the streets of St. Paul. The funda-
mental principle upon which Mr.. Donneily
proceeds and upon which the Invention IS
based, is that OF electricity. He has invented
and constructed an air ship which Will be
controlled and run by electricity. This
element, or force, not only con-

controls the currents themselves, and even
creates new currents. If, for instance, the
ship strikes an adverse current Mr.. Donheiiy
shoots off Il little electricity and creates
new and favorable current, which bears the
air ship away with great speed and
perfect safety. Mr.. Edison, the great elec-
trician, of Menlo Park. has been endeavor-
ing to get from Mr. Donnelly some IDEAS IN
regard 10 the discovery or invention, put
thus far he has not been successful. Mr.. Dom
nelly is of the opinion that he can make the
trip from St. Paul 10 Paris and return IN TWO
days.

Johan Straus is now very busily engaged
In composing his new opera. and those who
have been allowed to listen to some parts OF
it do not hesitate say tliu it Is unusual
work of great attractiveneSs and musical
variety. In order to convey in suitable

district clerks office, and for the last year or
two as county auditor, and who has now gone

and bid farewell TO all his greatness. only he
is making more money than the cardinal did
when he resigned.
